I Keep Witches While Others Keep Dragons

Half a month later.

Andrew was in trouble.

Now, with full equipment, his magic power was 279.

His equipment was: 40 magic power for the preliminary stage wand, three magic power for the apprentice, ten magic power for the frozen dragon boots, 53 magic power in total.

Andrew’s magic power was 235 without any equipment.

235 and 53. Logically speaking, it should be 288 magic power.

However, after putting on the clothes, Andrew’s magic power became 279.

Nine magic power disappeared out of thin air.

Andrew tried to take off his school uniform which only offered three magic power.

But the result was that magic power was still 279.

He put on the school uniform and took off the frost dragon boots that owned ten magic power.

As a result, magic power became 278 again.

In other words, no matter how the equipment was changed, Andrew’s magic power was targeted at the highest 279.

Any magic power that exceeded this number would disappear out of thin air.

This phenomenon was found five days ago.

Andrew also knew the reason.

Spiritual barrier.

In the meditation room, time passed. Andrew was at a loss and didn’t know what to do.

Because of the spiritual barrier, his magic power had not been improved for five days.

Generally, the first time a spiritual barrier appeared was when the mage’s magic power touched line 280._.

And the spiritual barrier had to start with the rules of meditation.

Generally speaking, meditation was always the most efficient way to improve magic power.

In essence, meditation was to improve spiritual power through concentration.

And no matter what level a mage was, he could only meditate for two hours a day.

This was not a rule set by some powerful people.

But as a human being, he could only endure two hours of meditation every day.

After more than two hours, no matter how hard he tried to meditate, it would not improve anymore.

If he forced himself to meditate, it might cause his spirit to be over-heated and burn part of his spirit. In this way, the effect of meditation on his whole life would be greatly reduced.

In addition, there was a limit to meditation.

That was to say, when a person’s magic power reached 279, no matter how hard he meditated, he couldn’t raise his magic power.

And no matter what kind of divine weapon it was equipped with, it couldn’t break the shackles of breakthrough 279 magic power.

This was the first obstacle in the mage’s life.

Spiritual barrier.

In essence, magic power interfered with real energy through the influence of the spirit.

It could be said that the magic itself was the interference of human consciousness to reality.

And this kind of interference had its limits.

This limitation was 279 magic power.

This was the limitation of life.

It meant that as a “human” creature, magic power couldn’t be more than 279.

Separation from human beings was not achieved overnight.

It was not easy to leave the human race.

From spirit, consciousness, body, soul and, other aspects, gradually broke through.

This was also the reason why the advanced mage needed to reach 280 magic power.

The mages were a group of people who had made up their minds to pursue demonic skills.

As the saying goes, one couldn’t get both the fish and the bear.

The demonic skills were not something that humans could touch.

If one wanted to explore the demonic skills to the extreme, he had to give up his human identity.

The deeper the demonic skills went, the more they would leave the human beings.

The premium stage mage was the first step to step into the demonic way.

He needed to get rid of the human identity in terms of spirit strength first.

If he couldn’t do this, his magic power would only stay at 279 for the rest of his life.

But the problem was, how could it be a breakthrough?

Andrew was now standing at the boundary of fate.

After learning for a while, he had known the method of breakthrough.

That was meditation.

Meditation could not last more than 2 hours, which was a human’s limitation.

If he wanted to get a breakthrough to the mage advanced, he had to meditate for more than 2 hours.

But it needed courage.

Meditation for more than two hours would cause serious spirit damage.

If the breakthrough succeeded, the damage would be written off.

But if he failed, the damage would be irreversible for the rest of his life.

Many students failed in this step.

Of course, there were many magic potions on the market that could improve the success rate, but they were all very expensive.

Here, the most rational way was to give up for the time being and wait for full preparation before starting a breakthrough.

But Andrew didn’t want to do that.

There was only half a month left before director Nicholas’s lecture.

There were only one and a half months left before the four mage academy games.

Although the success rate was high if he took it slowly, Andrew still needed time.

What Andrew wanted was more than the first place of Lion Eagle Mage Academy.

What Andrew wanted was to win the four schools competition.

It would be a waste of most precious time to put down practice for the sake of breakthrough 279 magic power.

Because once he broke through 280 magic power, he would become the advanced mage, the biggest advantage was that the maximum time for meditation every day would be increased from two hours to four hours.

Needless to say what it meant.

Moreover, there was only a little difference between 279 and 280 magic power.

That was the dividing line between human and inhuman.

The difference of one magic power might be more than three times.

Thinking of this, Andrew closed his eyes, sat cross-legged in the meditation room, and began to meditate.

The biggest difference between the strong and the weak was their action.

The strong would never think about the future. Once they had an idea, they would put it into action. Therefore, the strong could always be faster.

And one stepped faster, each stepped faster.

Seize the day, seize the hour.

Two hours passed quickly.

Andrew felt that his spirit had reached its limit.

A burning feeling rose in his mind.

But he didn’t relax at all.

Two hours had passed.

Now was the time to get serious.

Today, Andrew was going to launch an attack on the level of the advanced mage.

If he succeeded, he would be the only senior Lion Eagle Mage Academy student of the grade-one mage in the past ten years.

But Andrew didn’t expect that he would encounter unimaginable resistance when he just took the first step.

Two hours and one second passed.

In the first second of the third hour, Andrew felt that countless bullets had pierced through his brain.

There was a sharp pain in the brain as if it was cancer.

“Hmm…”

The sudden pain almost suffocated Andrew.

The magic power all over his body began to flow backward.

The sharp pain spread from the head to the whole body.

The blood seemed to boil violently at this moment.

His spirit was over-heated.

This was the side effect of overtime meditation.

Although it was an inevitable process to get breakthrough the advanced mage, the pain was unexpectedly strong.

Every cell in his body seemed to be moaning.

Andrew, who was in meditation, began to spasm violently.

If he stopped at this time, it would not be too late.

It was just slight overtime of more than ten seconds. The spirit damage could be repaired, and it could be recovered after half a month of rest.

The normal mage was the same as breakthrough 280 magic power.

After resting for a while, he adapted to the side effects and effects of the time out gradually, to increase the success rate.

If everything went well, the success rate would be significantly improved after a year.

But Andrew had made up his mind before he started.

He didn’t only ask for speed, for success rate.

Two more hours of meditation every day was a rare advantage.

As the saying goes, wealth comes from danger.

Profit and risk were always accompanied.

Andrew gritted his teeth and decided to take the pain.

This time, I wanted to break through the advanced mage!
